65. AZ MUTUAL AID COMPACT (AZMAC) Approve the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact (AZMAC) between the State of Arizona and the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, School Districts, Tribal Nations, Maricopa County and all other participating municipal corporations in the State. The other participants are signing this agreement simultaneously. This mutual aid agreement provides a mechanism for Maricopa County and the other participants in Arizona to assist each other in the event that a disaster should occur. The agreement also provides a means to decline rendering assistance if doing so is not in the best interest of the County. If the agreement is put into effect as a result of a disaster, there could be either a cost to the County for assisting another participants or a gain from receiving assistance from other participants, depending on the location of the damaged area. Assistance rendered during a state-declared disaster is eligible for reimbursement according to the terms of A.R.S. 35-192 and A.R.S 26-311. Assistance rendered during a federally declared disaster is eligible for reimbursement according to federal guidelines. There is no cost to Maricopa County for participating in the agreement. The 2014 Compact shall cease to be effective as of midnight Arizona time on the evening of December 31, 2023 and this Compact shall be effective until midnight Arizona time on the evening of December 31, 2033.
